Abstract:

Based on Citespace, the literature on forest health landscape planning and design in CNKI literature was visually analyzed. It aimed to review the existing research results, grasp the research trends, and promote the design and research of forest health landscapes. In the CNKI Chinese database, 53 relevant documents were searched with the themes of forest health, landscape, plan and design, and the visual charts were generated by Citespace software, and then their development trends and progress were analyzed. The results showed that the research on forest health landscape planning and design was roughly divided into three periods. 2009-2014 was the initial period, 2015-2017 was the transition period, and 2018-2021 was the development period. There was still a lack of cooperation between scholars, institutions in the field of forest health research in China, and a research group with a certain system scale had not been formed. Although interdisciplinary research existed, it was not perfect, and the innovation of research was deficient. The research on forest health landscape planning and design needed to pay attention to the interdisciplinary cooperation and the cooperation between authors and institutions. It is necessary to transform theory into practice and build a forest health landscape planning and design with specific characteristics, rather than just staying at the stage of reference and surface. Forest health landscape planning and design should highlight its uniqueness. How to balance its functions is a very important part, which needs to improve the existing research and seek new breakthroughs.

Key words: forest health, Citespace, visualization, scenery
